A third stage of the Snowboard Cross World Cup that begins on the right foot for the Italian national team, which brings eight athletes forward towards the final phase, scheduled for Saturday starting at 11.30.
The qualifications took place in Cervinia today, with Lucas Eguibar who set the best time trial ahead of the Canadian Eliot Grondin, another of the most anticipated men in terms of the race, and the Austrian Jakob Dusek, while the cup leader and dominator of the last three seasons, Alessandro Haemmerle, finished eighth just behind the first two Azzurri: Lorenzo Sommariva sixth and Matteo Menconi great seventh.
With the pass in his pocket for the second round also Tommaso Leoni, thanks to the 14th time, Michele Godino (23rd) and Filippo Ferrari (25th). Excluding the young blue rookies, Luca Abbiati and Niccolò Colturi, remembering that Omar Visintin is not in the Aosta Valley snow, in the pits after an elbow injury suffered in Montafon.
The female test (obviously devoid of the injured Eva Samkova), on the other hand, confirmed the exceptional state of form of the British Charlotte Bankes, first in front of Lindsey Jacobellis and Michela Moioli, third with the same time as the American veteran and ready to attack to seek the third victory in Cervinia. The Bergamo-born is in the upper part of the final draw which will restart from the quarterfinals, with Caterina Carpano who will be in the battery with Michela thanks to her 14th time, but Francesca Gallina (13th today) will also continue her journey, unlike Sofia Groblechner (35th) and Marika Savoldelli, who did not finish her test. Sofia Belingheri, on the other hand, was unable to take part in the qualification after falling yesterday in training and suffering a severe blow to the back.
